The Xuewu Dynasty was a major faction, established in the western region of the Central Great Realm and ruling over the Demonic Dao factions.
Naturally, the royal court disciples were all impressive; there were no weaklings.
Most people would not take the initiative to offend a Xuewu Dynastyâs prince; Xiao Chen would not do so, either.
However, the other party targeted Qing Chen and even sent experts to infiltrate Azure Mountain Town.
Of the two experts, Xiao Chen killed one and captured one. A grudge had formed already, so he did not need to overthink this.
Two days later, an undisguised Demonic Might appeared outside the town as the sun rose.
Xiao Chen, Sang, and Qin Zhuolin noticed that personâs aura at the same time.
The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man locked in prison also sensed this aura. He revealed an excited expression and exclaimed, âItâs the Eighth Prince!â
I am saved. With the Eighth Princeâs status and strength, Xiao Chen will not dare to continue holding me prisoner.
Before the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man could think any further, Sang brought him out.
After a while, the three gathered. The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man remained beside them, his cultivation restrained.
âBoom!â
Just at this moment, banks of demonic clouds covered the entire Azure Mountain Town, blocking out the rising sun. The sky instantly turned dark.
The Azure Mountain Town citizens did not know what was going on; all of them felt confused.
The depressing, dark demonic clouds containing a terrifying Demonic Might inspired unease and panic. The three found the heavy pressure somewhat unbearable.
Qin Zhuolin frowned slightly and commented, âWhat a terrifying Demonic Might! Before showing up, this Eighth Prince is already trying to bowl us over with a display of power.â
Xiao Chenâs eyes flickered with light, like he was in deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
âSince the Eighth Prince is here already, why not show yourself?â Xiao Chen said softly, but everyone in town could hear him.
At the same time, he silently spread out his Dragon Might. The citizens of the town immediately felt the pressure lessen significantly. When they heard Xiao Chenâs voice, they also calmed down.
âYou are not qualified to meet me. Release my man, and I can pretend that nothing happened.â The Eighth Princeâs voice contained some rage and a stately quality as it echoed in the surroundings.
With every word, the Demonic Might bearing down on Azure Mountain Town grew heavier. The city started shaking.
âEven if you do not want to reveal yourself, you donât have a choice,â Xiao Chen said indifferently. Then, a gigantic scarlet bird appeared from behind Azure Mountain Town. This birdâs scarlet feathers were eye-catching, looking like blood. As its feathers glowed faintly, it opened its mouth and sucked.
It was the Demon Blood Vulture.
To the Demon Blood Vulture, the terrifying demonic clouds were great nourishment.
At Xiao Chenâs instruction, the Demon Blood Vulture started swallowing up the demonic clouds. Soon, the clouds disappeared, and the sun reappeared.
A figure emerged above Azure Mountain Town, wearing scarlet robes that sported golden embroidery around the collar and the sleeves, looking very magnificent.
When the Demon Blood Vulture sucked up the clouds, this person got exposed.
âWhoosh!â
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in front of Xiao Chen, Sang, and Qin Zhuolin. This made their hair and clothes flutter and forced them to squint slightly.
Amid red light, the Eighth Prince suddenly appeared before the three. He showed a gloomy expression, a murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
Great Perfection Sovereign Personage!
The Eighth Princeâs cultivation already reached the Great Perfection Sovereign Stage. Together with his Demonic Might, strong aura, and royal bloodline, he emitted intense pressure.
However, Xiao Chen, Sang, and Qin Zhuolin remained expressionless, coping with this easily.
The three only found it strange that the Eighth Prince came alone. He did not have a single escort or expert with him.
They did not know whether he was just skilled and bold or if there were experts lying in concealment.
The Eighth Prince shot an indifferent glance at the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man. The other party appeared embarrassed, not daring to meet the Eighth Princeâs eyes.
Xiao Chen said calmly, âState your offer. If I am satisfied with it, you may take him away.â
âState an offer?â
The Eighth Prince felt slightly stunned. Then, he let out mocking laughter. âThis should be the funniest joke that Iâve heard. You are just a mixed-blood dragon that was chased out of the Divine Dragon Empire. After capturing my man, youâre actually trying to get a ransom?â
âKa ca!â
Without any warning, the Eighth Prince suddenly flicked his finger.
A strand of scarlet energy shot out. Before the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man could react, a bloody hole appeared in his forehead.
Since the scarlet-clad, middle-aged manâs cultivation was restricted, he was like an ordinary person. He could not block a strike from the Eighth Prince.
The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man fell to the ground, never to get up again, dying with remaining grievances. He had thought that he was a trusted aide of the Eighth Prince.
Who knew, the Eighth Prince did not even bother to spare him a few glances, immediately killing him.
Sang and Qin Zhuolin felt somewhat shocked. Unexpectedly, this Eighth Prince was so ruthless.
âNo one can threaten me, much less, over trash. I thought you were some incredible character. A mixed-blood dragon is indeed just a mixed-blood dragon. Your ken is too low; you are just a joke. I am here today for the Extreme Yin Body in your town, not this trash. State a price, and Iâll bring her away.â
The Eighth Prince showed a proud and arrogant expression as he looked coldly at Xiao Chen. He did not care about the other party at all.
Seeing the other party remain silent, the Xuewu Dynastyâs Eighth Prince felt that his move had shocked him.
He indeed has not seen the world. Great Perfection Sovereign Personages are incredible, experts wherever they go. However, there are plenty of such Great Perfection Sovereign Personages in the Xuewu Dynasty. So what if I kill one?
âWho permitted you to kill him?â
âWhat did you say?â
Taken aback, the Eighth Prince gave Xiao Chen a strange look. These words seemed very odd. He is just a subordinate with a weak royal bloodline. Do I need your permission to kill him?
âHe was just trash. So what if I killed him? Do I need your permission?â
âEven if he was just trash, he was trash in my hands!â
âBoom!â
Before Xiao Chen finished speaking, he executed Supreme Dragon Fist, throwing a punch.
Dragon Might erupted from his entire body. When combined with the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture, his Leaderless Dragons manifested both the form and the spirit.
The Eighth Prince felt slightly startled. Without much time to think, he could only counterpunch.
âBang!â
The moment the two fists connected, Xiao Chenâs punch sent the Eighth Prince flying, blood leaking out of the Eighth Princeâs mouth.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chenâs punch contained such horrifying offensive power.
This power was unlike that of a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage.
The force contained in Xiao Chenâs fist far surpassed the limits of a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage. The Eighth Prince stared at Xiao Chen in astonishment.
âYou dare attack me? You are seeking death!â
What shocked the Eighth Prince was that Xiao Chen dared to attack him, a dynastyâs prince.
Demonic Might surged from the Eighth Princeâs entire body as he snarled, bursting out with overwhelming might. Then, he slammed down on the ground and ferociously launched himself at Xiao Chen.
âWhoosh!â
As the Eighth Prince moved around, his strong aura instantly crushed the buildings around Xiao Chen and the others.
A strange scarlet light flowed on the Eighth Princeâs body, covering him like water.
âXiao Chen, that is Blood Demonic Armor. It is tough to break; do not clash head-on.â Qin Zhuolin recognized this strange Martial Technique, so he warned Xiao Chen to avoid a direct confrontation with the Eighth Prince.
However, Xiao Chen ignored him. He promptly executed the Supreme Dragon Fistâs second move, attacking after storing up power.
He had already transformed fifty percent of his Azure Dragon bloodline and also had a Ten Thousand Dragons Picture in his mind. When he now executed the strongest offensive Secret Technique of the Dragon Race, the difference was like night and day.
Thousands of dragon images assembled above Xiao Chenâs body. When he punched, he forced back the Eighth Prince, who was pouncing over with overwhelming Demonic Might.
The third move, Regretless Heavenly Dragon.
Grand aspirations gathered in Xiao Chenâs heart as he launched this punch, the Regretless Heavenly Dragon.
The fourth move, Raging at the Unfair Heaven.
The grand aspirations turned into rage. The sky changed colors, and the rage in Xiao Chenâs heart shook the sky.
âBang!â
When the Supreme Dragon Fistâs fourth move appeared, cracks appeared in the Eighth Princeâs Blood Demonic Armor. Then, it turned into splatters of blood flying everywhere, forcefully broken.
The Eighth Prince vomited a mouthful of blood and immediately paled. His Blood Demonic Armor actually broke.
At the side, Qin Zhuolin was stunned. He had not expected Xiao Chen to be so ferocious, directly breaking the Blood Demonic Armor.
âDamn it! Blood Hell Demonic Eyes!â
The Eighth Prince roared furiously as he glared. Blood seeped out of his eyes, making him look terrifying and sinister. Strange golden talisman scripts appeared in their depths.
âXiao Chen, that is a Xuewu Dynasty Secret Technique. Once it is executed, it can call out the boundless blood hell refined by the Xuewu Dynastyâa blood hell refined by the Xuewu Demonic Monarch while leading three thousand Demonic Venerates. Once you fall into it, there will only be death.â
Qin Zhuolinâs expression flickered. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had pushed the Eighth Prince into such dire straits.
In merely a few moves, the Eighth Prince was forced to bring out his Secret Technique.
âAll of you have to die. None of you will escape me. You have all offended me!â
The Eighth Prince showed a sinister expression. A blood hell image slowly expanded in the depths of his eyes. Scarlet lightning flashed continuously in the sky, tearing through the clouds. Strong winds blew, and sand and stones flew about; all this presented an apocalyptic scene.
However, Xiao Chen did not fluster. He calmly drew his saber and entered a state of Martial and Soul as One. Then, he just sent out a saber strike.
Aside from the saber in Xiao Chenâs hand, the world turned black and white.
